Garbage Container Fires

In the past months we experienced approximately 35 garbage container fires. On the whole, these types of fires are considered by the community as basically nuisance. The truth is, they are a very serious threat to your safety, and e very costly to your wallet. The cost to the City Garbage Dept. is over $10,000 annually Just to replace the containers, Then someone has to be paid to remove the burned container, and replace it with a new one. Then there Is the cost of Police and Fire Dept. response to these types of calls. That puts the cost to the community probably In the neighborhood of $20,000 plua a year. If you figure there approximately 3500
people In the community, the cost of these fires Is estimated of $5.72 per an, woman, and child every year. If you figure it by garbage accounts, there are 900. That means every year you pay $25.25 per account year for these fires.
